Your Journey to Wellness
Carolyn DeKay-Townsend

Accepting In-Person (Anchorage) and Telehealth


Therapy Style & Education
Therapy Style:
Professionally, I recently earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida. My clinical experience has included working with trauma, perinatal mental health, grief and loss, and anxiety. I'm especially passionate about Brainspotting, and I love helping people
discover their resilience, reconnect with their strengths, and feel emotionally lighter. I provide individual counseling for adults and adolescents. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I believe each person possesses inherent worth and the capacity for
growth, and I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel understood and empowered. My areas of clinical interest include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, women's mental health, self-esteem, and performance enhancement for athletes and
other high performers.

Get To Know Carolyn
Personal
My name is Carolyn DeKay-Townsend. I have lived in Alaska since I was 10. My childhood was growing up in the military and moving around a lot. I was born in Japan and also spent 3 years in Germany as a child. I have been married to my husband for almost 24 years and am a
mom of six kids who definitely keep life interesting, ranging from 22 to a 4-year-old. When I'm not working, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, hiking, exploring the outdoors, learning, or working on house projects.
